Re: Where are the Spey rods? for Les Korcala

[rderedfield]

Les, how do you like that White River reel (Bauer copy) ?  Have you used it much?  I'm guessing it's the Conservationist 3 . . . I heard Bass Pro discontinued it when Bauer sued them for copying their reel(s) so closely.   Richard     ----- Original Message ----- From: Les Korcala To: Washington Fly fishers Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 9:44 AM Subject: Re: Where are the Spey rods?
